When you’re sent a rebate debit card, you receive a privacy notice. You are considered a “customer” of the company that issues the card. Thanks to Joe Leiberman’s “Opt-Out” rules, you have to send a letter to that company demanding that they not share/sell your purchasing information to anyone.

I’m bothered by the 120 day limit on using the card. If a check is issued, once it is cashed there is no time limit on your using the money. What happens to the balance on the card after 120 days? To me this is like getting one of those $2.98 checks in the mail, they count on people not wanting to be bothered by cashing them.

Sell it on e-Bay and fund a tailgate party at the Tide vs. Gators National Championship game?

Don’t go over. Go in and pay with the card. You got to buy gas anyway.
